Mine would have to be a repro of a 1959 model,which is the year I was born.It would have to have the following;

Rosewood Fretboard
Ocean Turquoise or Surf Green color
Vintage style tuners
Seymore Duncan Vintage single coil pups
Slightly reliced look
5 way switch

That's all I can think of.That would be the perfect Strat for me!


Good call on the year you were born. I was thinking about getting that 1969 custom shop strat NOS due to the year I was born. :D

I would love a strat with a fusion of maple and rosewood fretboards, like a cross-breed. If you bred trees!

Hmm thinking about it..

Ash body, burst finish in nitrocellulose with mint green pickguard and aged plastic parts
Maple neck, soft V, satin nitro finish, compound radius with 9.5" at the nut down to a 12", no inlays apart from 12th (abalone infinity symbol or some other decorative inlay)
Maple fretboard with vintage sized frets
Old style headstock, vintage locking tuners
Brass nut
Fishman piezo bridge
Dunno about pickups, vintage single coils in the neck and middle, higher output bucker (maybe a Dimarzio tonezone like in my current axe) in the bridge
Master vol, Master tone, Blend pot for the piezo, 5 way switch hooked up so pos 2 has neck/middle in hum cancelling, and 4 has middle/a coil from the bucker in noise cancelling

That'd be a sexy guitar.

Hello Leonardusnn,

I'd like a '62 hotrod in sherwood green.
Maybe an ebony fretboard to give the
custom shop something to do on it.

Cheers.

Ash body

See- through blonde or two-tone burst finish

Soft V neck profile (same as the Clapton Strat)

Medium jumbo frets

Pickups: 69 Custom Shop (neck)
54 Custom Shop (middle)
Texas Special (bridge)

Vintage styled trem bridge

Shortened trem bar
